Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/255,537 filed Apr. 17, 2014, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,470,257 issued Oct. 18, 2016.
- The present invention relates to mounts and fasteners. More specifically, the present invention relates to fasteners for affixing thermal insulation blankets to a substrate, such as the engine nacelles of an aircraft.
- It is common to secure an “attachment member” such as a fastener or the like, onto a supporting surface, also referred to as a substrate. For example, it is known to mount threaded fasteners or the like onto a substrate so as to be able to attach additional components to the substrate's surface. Adhesive bonded attachments are well known for connecting a component to a threaded stud or bolt so as to mount components to a substrate. These adhesive attachment members typically include a base providing a bonding surface which is adapted to receive a curable bonding agent. The base is then pressed against the substrate surface so as to allow the bonding agent to cure.
- Attachment members including a base and male or female threaded fastener have been used to support and affix thermal insulation blankets to a substrate wherein the insulation blanket is provided to act as a heat-shield to protect surrounding structures and components. As but one example, such thermal insulation blankets have been mounted on the inboard side of aircraft engine nacelles. Typically, a thermal insulation blanket is made of a refractory cloth material which includes multiple grommets forming mounting holes for affixing the blanket to the substrate. A plurality of adhesive bonded attachment members are affixed to the nacelle substrate at various positions with the attachment members' male or female threaded elements projecting through the insulation blanket's mounting holes. Separate cooperative threaded elements, such as nuts or bolts, are then secured to the attachment member's threaded elements for retaining the insulation blanket in place.
- As a result of the high heat environment, specialized fasteners have been developed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,584,582, which is incorporated by reference herein, discloses an adhesive bonded attachment assembly for use in affixing insulation blankets to a substrate. The attachment assembly includes an attachment member including a base for adhesively affixing to a substrate as well as a threaded element for projecting through an insulation blanket's mounting hole. In addition, the assembly includes a cap having a radially enlarged cap member and a second threaded element for affixing to the attachment member. The cap member has a size so as to overlie and engage the insulation blanket so as to keep it in place. Providing additional thermal protection, the cap member has an inboard piece and an outboard piece forming an internal chamber. The cap's inboard piece and outboard piece are typically made of metal and an insulation material is positioned within the cap's central chamber. Unfortunately, the fastener assembly described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,584,582 suffers from several drawbacks. First, because the fastener assembly is primarily made of metal, the assembly is undesirably heavy. In addition, the cap fastener is made of multiple components which must be assembled together thereby introducing undesirable complexity.
- All-metal fasteners provide extremely high strength to a fastener element. However, adhesives and potting materials typically do not bond well to an all-metal material, such as titanium, as well as to a composite or plastic material. Further, metal fasteners are typically heavy and expensive. Conversely, plastic fasteners provide low weight, but lesser strength values than all-metal fasteners.
- Therefore, there is a significant need for an improved attachment assembly for affixing insulation blankets to a substrate.
- It would be desirable to provide the fastener assembly with a decrease in weight, reduced manufacturing costs, and improved thermal protection.
- Briefly, in accordance with the invention, an improved fastener assembly for affixing thermal insulation blankets to a substrate is provided. The assembled components are described herein as including the substrate and thermal insulation blanket. The term “substrate” is intended to be interpreted broadly as to include any surface or fixtures upon which an insulation blanket is to be mounted. Moreover, the term “insulation blanket” is to be interpreted broadly to include any material, flexible or otherwise, providing thermal protection, either from conduction, convection or radiation.
- The fastener assembly further includes an attachment member attached to the substrate. The attachment member may be constructed in various manners as can be determined by those skilled in the art to provide a structure upon which a second part of a fastener can be fastened. Preferably, the attachment member includes an enlarged base providing a mounting surface for adhesive affixation to the substrate. Moreover, it is preferred that the attachment member include a first fastener element, such as in the form of a male or female threaded element. Though it is preferred that this first fastener element be male or female threaded, other known fastener constructions can be utilized.
- The fastener assembly of the present invention further includes a cap fastener. The cap fastener includes a radially enlarged cap member having a radial size and shape greater than an insulation blanket mounting hole. The cap member includes an exterior side and an interior side. The cap fastener further includes a second fastener element extending from the cap member's interior side. Again, the second fastener element may be constructed in any manner so as to affix to the attachment member's first fastener element. However, it is preferred that this second fastener element be a male or female extension of a size so as to project at least partially through the insulation blanket's mounting hole to affix to a cooperatively constructed first fastener element adhered to the substrate. Alternative first and second fastener elements may include hook and pile, snaps, press-fit arrangements, etc. Where the fastener assembly's attachment member and cap fastener are affixed together utilizing male and threaded elements, it is preferred that the cap fastener include a construction to allow it to be manually rotated, and thereby affixed, relative to the attachment member. Again, various known constructions for rotating the cap fastener may be selected by those skilled in the art including slots for a standard or Phillips screwdriver. However, a preferred construction includes a hexagonal projection formed upon the cap member's exterior side for mating to a socket tool. Preferably, this hexagonal projection has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the enlarged cap member.
- To provide additional thermal protection, the cap member's interior surface includes a circular recess surrounding the second fastener element. When the fastener assembly is complete with an insulation blanket positioned between the substrate and cap fastener, the circular recess forms a circular insulating cavity between the cap member and insulation blanket which provides additional insulation and reduced heat transfer through the fastener assembly. Preferably, the cap member's interior surface has a substantially concave shape so as to form the circular recess surrounding the second fastener element.
- The various components of the fastener assembly may be made of various materials. However, it is preferred that the attachment member include a base made of composite or plastic material such as woven polyimide. Similarly, it is preferred that the cap fastener's cap member be made of composite or plastic material such as woven polyimide. Where the attachment member and cap fastener are affixed together utilizing male and female threaded fasteners, it is preferred that these threaded components be made of metal, such as a 300 series stainless steel.
- Thus it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved fastener assembly for affixing insulation blankets to a substrate.
- It is still an additional object of the present invention to provide an improved fastener assembly that is of decreased weight, low cost, and decreased complexity.
- These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings.

- With reference to
FIGS. 1-6 , the fastener assembly 1 of the present invention is for use in supporting and affixing aninsulation blanket 5 to asubstrate 3, such as an aircraft engine nacelle. Thesubstrate 3 is a wall panel or the like that separates an environment having a relatively high temperature from another environment having cooler temperatures. It is anticipated that the substrate is typically formed from light weight metals or composite materials which may form the nacelle for an aircraft engine. Meanwhile, theinsulation blanket 5 is mounted to thesubstrate 3 to insulate and thereby safeguard adjacent structures and components from undesirable thermal damage. As illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 , theinsulation blanket 5 may include exterior refractory materials as well as multiple internal insulating layers. As best illustrated inFIG. 5 , theinsulation blanket 5 includes one or more mountingholes 11 which preferably are lined withgrommets 9. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , preferably eachgrommet 9 has a round short rim. - The fastener assembly 1 includes two primary components including an
attachment member 21 affixed to thesubstrate 3 and acap fastener 31 for holding theinsulation blanket 5 in place. As illustrated inFIGS. 1-6 , theattachment member 21 includes aflat base 23 and afirst fastener member 25, which as illustrated in the figures, is preferably a male threaded stud. In addition, the attachment member may include analignment tab 27. Thealignment tab 27 projects downwardly from thebase 23 and is provided only where thesubstrate 3 includes a hole or notch for receiving and positioning theattachment member 21. Preferably thebase 23 is made of a plastic, such as a woven polyimide and has a flat bottom surface for affixing to thesubstrate 5 using an adhesive 13. - Meanwhile, the fastener assembly's
cap fastener 31 includes acap member 33 which is preferably round and has anexterior side 35 and aninterior side 37. As illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 , thecap member 33 is radially enlarged so as to have a size and shape greater than the insulation blanket's mountinghole 11. Thecap fastener 31 further includes asecond fastener member 45 capable of fastening to the attachment member'sfirst fastener member 25. As illustrated, the cap fastener's second fastener member is preferably a female threadedextension 45 sized to affix to the attachment member's male threadedstud 25. - The cap member's interior 37 includes a
circular recess 39 which is concentrically formed around the female threadedextension 45. As best illustrated inFIG. 4 , it is preferred that the cap member'sinterior side 37 have a concave shape with the female threaded extension projecting concentrically from its middle so as to form thecircular recess 39. As best illustrated inFIGS. 4 and 6, the cap member'scircular recess 39 forms an insulatingcavity 15. More specifically, the cap member'scircular recess 39 allows the periphery of the cap member to engage aninsulation blanket 5 so as to maintain the insulation blanket against thesubstrate 3. However, the remainingcircular recess 39 portion of a cap member has little or no engagement with theinsulation blanket 5 so as to create the insulatingcavity 15 which provides reduced thermal conduction and a corresponding increase in thermal insulation. - It is preferred that the cap fastener's
cap member 33 be made of a composite or plastic having excellent thermal insulation properties such as a woven polyimide. However, it is preferred that the cap member's second fastener member, preferably a female threadedextension 45, be made of a metal for high strength, such as a 300 series stainless steel. To prevent disengagement of thecap member 33 from the female threadedextension 45, it is preferred that the female threaded extension include a head, preferably having one or more radially projectingflanges 47 which are encapsulated within thecap member 33. Furthermore, it is preferred that the head have a diameter larger than the diameter of the blanket's hole so that in the event that the cap member's composite or plastic failed, the fastener head would retain the blanket against the substrate.
